The Overthrow Of The War System is a book written by Jane Addams and published in 1915. The book focuses on the idea that war is not an inevitable part of human nature, but rather a product of social and economic conditions. Addams argues that the war system is perpetuated by a small group of powerful individuals who benefit from conflict and that the only way to end war is to address the underlying causes of conflict.Addams draws on her experience as a social reformer and founder of Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago that provided social services to immigrants and the poor. She also draws on her experiences as a peace activist, including her involvement in the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the war system and its causes. The second part focuses on the role of women in ending war and promoting peace. The third part provides practical suggestions for ending the war system, including disarmament, international cooperation, and the establishment of a world court.Overall, The Overthrow Of The War System is a passionate and well-reasoned argument for the abolition of war. It remains a landmark work in the history of peace activism and is still widely read and cited today.Also By Lucia Ames Mead, Rose Dabney Forbes, Denys P. Myers, Ruby G.

Excerpt: ...amidst a crowd of honest people seeking recreation after a long day's work, groups of older girls walking and talking gaily with young men of their acquaintance, and happy children holding their parents' hands. This cruel exploitation of the childish eagerness for pleasure is, of course, possible only among a certain type of forlorn city children who are totally without standards and into whose colorless lives a visit to the amusement park brings the acme of delirious excitement. It is possible that these children are the inevitable product of city life; in Paris, little girls at local fêtes wishing to ride on the hobby horse frequently buy the privilege at a fearful price from the man directing the machinery, and a physician connected with the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children writes: ?It is horribly pathetic to learn how far a nickel or a quarter will go towards purchasing the virtue of these children.? The home environment of such children has been similar to that of many others who come to grief through the five-cent theatres. These eager little people, to whom life has offered few pleasures, crowd around the door hoping to be taken in by some kind soul and, when they have been disappointed over and over again and the last performance is about to begin, a little girl may be induced unthinkingly to barter her chastity for an entrance fee. Many children are also found who have been decoyed into their first wrong-doing through the temptation of the saloon, in spite of the fact that one of the earliest regulations in American cities for the protection of children was the prohibition of the sale of liquor to minors. That children may be easily demoralized by the influence of a disorderly saloon was demonstrated recently in Chicago; one of these saloons was so situated that the pupils of a public school were obliged to pass it and from the windows of the schoolhouse itself could see much of what...
